C.Biscuit97 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 What a salty thread this is and I wasn’t even a Tyrod fan. TT in 2015 (first year as a starter):63.7%, 216.8 passing yard/ game, 20 passing tds, 6 ints, 99.4 qb rating, 510 yards rushing, 9 tds, and 9 fumbles = bum Allen: 58.8%, 193.1 passing yard/ game, 20 passing tds, 9 ints, 85.3 qb rating, 568 yards rushing, 4 tds, and 14 fumbles = future star obviously, Allen has a ton of upside. He very easily can be better than Tyrod. But it’s kinda disingenuous to bash a guy who helped us get to the playoffs while praising a guy who basically had a statistically worse season. Do better. And they are definitely drafting a qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuvian Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 let's hope TT makes the most of his opportunity. They might get more fan support on the road than LA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of you realize we had a top 10 scoring offense with Tyrod and missed the playoffs? Almost like how we had 26th ranked offense this year and made the playoffs. Almost like it’s a team game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I still have love for Tyrod, but I do think this is the Winston destination at the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I would take Tyrod at his current pay over signing someone else on the market for probably more money. I mean, who ever they sign is not the future and neither is TT. They are either drafting one now or looking at a shot at someone like Trevor next year (likely drafting now). This makes sense to me, and while he isn't the long term franchise guy you want, he is capable of being a veteran starter in front of a Rookie and still help the team remain somewhat competitive. There is no one out there that is going to leap frog them up into contending for the division title. But TT could keep them in range of the wildcard discussion if their team can stay healthy as there is enough talent on both sides of the ball. Ultimately I think they end up a 6-8 win team, but who out there makes them much better than that? And at what price? Im guessing Hebert is going to be a Charger soon and will take over sometime during the season from TT or certainly will in 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stunk during their playoff run No they made the playoffs IN SPITE of the poor choice to bench him for a scrub 5th round pick while we were the 6th seed of the playoffs in week 11 against a struggling 3-6 Chargers team on a 2 game losing streak. Their 3 wins were narrow wins against bad opponents too. I love McD and think he is currently one of the best young coaches in the NFL right now...but that was his one big blunder in my eyes as a rookie HC. Ultimately it worked out still making the playoffs, but we would have most likely beaten the Chargers had we started TT instead of Nathan PickerMan that game. And winning that game would have meant we didnt need Cincy's help. 1 minute ago, GunnerBill said: Tyrod will be benched by week 5 or 6. This. He's ideal to start the year as the QB because he's easy to transition away from if whatever rookie they draft shows the staff they are ready. And if the rookie isnt where they want him to be, they can still remain somewhat competitive with TT just as much as most the guys left on the market that would cost a lot more.

Just think it is odd strategically from the Chargers. If you start a season with Brady you are in pure "win now" if you start it with Tyrod and rookie you are in "transition." How can you plan the rest of your offseason when you don't know which of those two very different scenarios you are aiming at? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you plan the rest of your offseason when you don't know which of those two very different scenarios you are aiming at? Well I think it was they felt Brady was the only one who could put them in a place to truly contend for something and are not looking at the left overs out there as guys that help them beat teams like the Chiefs and Ravens. So if you are not going to get over the hump, might as well keep the guy you have and focus on developing the rookie. I look at it as why throw good money at bad money? Cam isnt what he used to be and an injury concern. Winston, is well Winston. Dalton had talented teams in Cincy before and couldn't get anywhere. Etc etc. Why pay those guys who want to start and could be a locker room issue if you want to bench them for a rookie midseason versus staying the course with a guy they know well whose a great locker room guy in Tyrod? So I just think it was as simple as them seeing the only QB to make them a viable playoff team with a chance to make a post season push was Brady.

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 ...uh oh...Tyrod back to 2nd fiddle?................ Chargers are debating the possible pursuit of Cam Newton Posted by Mike Florio on March 18, 2020, 1:38 PM EDT The Panthers want to trade Cam Newton. They’ve yet to find a partner. Given the challenges associated with having team doctors conduct a proper physical in advance of any trade, the Panthers ultimately may have to cut Newton. And if/when they do, the Chargers may be waiting. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the Chargers currently are debating whether to pursue Newton. A trade remains unlikely given the inability of team doctors to give him a physical. But the Chargers could pursue Newton, if/when he’s released. The Bears had been linked to Newton, but they’ve traded for Nick Foles. That leaves few seats for Newton. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/03/18/chargers-are-debating-the-possible-pursuit-of-cam-newton/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT's limitations could only be hidden for so long and defenses finally saw he would not challenge them across the entire field. HIs YPA, YPG, and sacks taken all declined from 2015 to 2017 and his progression just never happened from that first year with Rex. Credit to Beane for getting a 3rd from Cleveland for him. I'd be shocked (shocked!) if the LAC do not maneuver their way toward selecting a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1st&ten Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I thin Cam would be a good fit for the Chargers---many of the play designs could work with Cam or Tyrod. I'm not sure what Cam's salary hit is but if too high maybe they could restructure. Of course they might just be interested in drafting a young QB at # 6 but they could also do both.

Not true. All those other names can score more than 3 points in a playoff game. He’s way behind Dalton Jameis and Trubisky Maybe a wash with Mariota but I’d take Mariota Edited March 18, 2020 by Teddy KGB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
